NEW TO THE BLOCK!

HELLO KRAFTY KUSTOMERS!


We have some great news! Inkadinkado has now come out with a line of clear stamps called "Inchies"! You might ask yourself, "What the heck is an inchie and why is it so amazing??!" Well folks, I am here to tell you that they are amazing because they come in a full set of small 1x1 inch detailed stamps that have become all the rage! Like most clear stamp sets, they are themed and are well matched so when you go to make a special card or scrapbook page, you have everything you need for that scene right there in one set. Each set normally comes with 12 small 1x1 stamps, a larger stamp that can be used as a background and small stamps that can be used as accents for anything your heart desires! The amazing thing with these stamp sets are that they give you the mosaic look (which is becoming more and more popular) without the mess and work of making you do it yourself! While these are Inkadinkado stamps, they can be stored with your new Stampendous clear filing system right along with all the other clear stamps, clear blocks and wood-mounted stamps in your collection!


In case you were wondering, the picture to the left is what the inchies look like in their original packaging. While they don't look like much when you first get them, they can do wonders! By matching them up in unique order, you can create many different cards and variations!! You don't have to stick with the mosaic theme, but can use the large block and one of the smaller blocks to make a matted effect.

By not only using different color inks for each stamp, you can also use COPIC MARKERS to color in and shade the backgrounds of each stamp like the very last sample.






This is a unique way of using the blocks and gives the card a watercolor look but each individual block is different. Each set comes with a variety of words that you can mix and match with other sets to make your very own card! Adding embellishments like the rhinestone on the card add a little extra! With these sets, you don't need anything else other than the set to make your card or scrapbook page magical!

Hello KRAFTY KUSTOMERS!
Its a little hard to keep up on the blogs with a million different projects and presentations going on at once. I am a junior year transfer student at Sonoma State University majoring in Communications so our teachers have been keeping us extremely busy with upcoming projects. I know it's been a while since I've posted a blog, but my mom recently sent me some new samples from Stampendous! I had a chance to work with some of these during our adventures at Stampendous and let me say, they are amazing, especially the Cling-On stamps (to watch a Stampendous expert show you how to use these new stamps, watch the first video below!). They give the same impression as the wood mounted but are easier to carry around or just plain easier to store! They come in the same impressions as the wood mounted but give you the versatility to add more stamps to your collection if you need more storage or are watching your budget! If you see a CRV code - it's a cling stamp!

Another great advantage to this new storage system is that you can easily make them your own with adding your personal decorating style to the plastic storage containers. By simply adding different color ribbons like you see in our samples below, you can categorize each set or dress them up so you can easily select the set you need in the nick of time!

For example, you could use white ribbion to dress up your new orchid wedding stamps or a brown for the Chingito monkey stamps. By adding these simple accessories, you can always choose a new color when you add a new set or find what you are looking for with ease.

When ordering the storage containers, the thin size is perfect for is for the Cling Rubber, Clear Stamp sets, stickers and paper. The thick size is for storing clear mounts, glitter bottles and your favorite stamping supplies. The thickest are perfect for wooden mounted stamps, glitter bottles and all sorts of stamping supplies. They all are 8-1/2" x 11" and fit right into magazine holders! To see the difference in sizes and how they the system works, watch the second video below!

PLUS GREAT NEWS!! The Stampendous Orchid clear set sample and storage system, as well as Changito wood mounted, Cling and Clear are now available!!

Also, check out the site, www.KraftyatKrafts.com, for NEW Quickutz Easter items, 4" x 8" Alphabets that are on sale (stock up on these - they won't last) and new items going on every day. Stampendous has a ton of new clear sets, NEW Fluffles and a new FROG that is totally adorable.

On a sad note, I wanted to tell you that Luminarte - the makers of Twinkling H2Os is going out of business so if you have been hankering for some of those colors, now is the time to get them because when they are gone - they are gone. If you haven't used Twinkling H2Os, you are in for a treat. One jar lasts forever (just about) and they shimmer like no other. Also, Daisy D's is going out of business. We've ordered some of their papers which came in today but, again, when it is gone, it is gone.
Thanks for sticking with us! We know you have lots of choices and please know 'you are VERY much appreciated!'




















Sorry for the delay. You know that college students have so many things to do...my daughter left me to write you and show samples of the NEW Stampendous Changito Monkey stamps that come in Wood Mounted or NEW Cling with Cushioning! I'm attaching a few sample cards to get your juices working. How adorable is the Knee Hugger for Father's Day or the Cake for a birthday? There are adorable sayings also so check www.KraftyatKrafts.com and search 'monkey' for all the new ones that are available.
